Prosthodontist, laser dentist and the founder of Beyond Smiles. For 20 years she has led a practice built on one simple idea — keep what is natural wherever possible, and restore what is lost with care.

Beyond Smiles founded in Mumbai
Dr Hetal Turakhia founded Beyond Smiles in 2006 with a clear intention: to offer dentistry that is unhurried, well planned and honest about what each treatment can and cannot do.
Her postgraduate training is in Prosthodontics — the specialty concerned with restoring damaged teeth and replacing missing ones with crowns, bridges, dentures and implant-supported teeth. She completed it with a gold medal.
She went on to earn a Master’s in Laser Dentistry, bringing laser-assisted techniques into everyday care where they genuinely help, and a qualification in Hospital & Healthcare Management, which shapes how the practice is run — from sterilisation and records to the way appointments and treatment plans are organised.
Over two decades, the practice has cared for Mumbai families, international patients who plan treatment around a visit to India, and people who need complex, multi-stage rehabilitation. Today Dr Hetal leads a multi-specialty team at Cumballa Hill, in association with DreamDent Dental & Sleep Clinic.
Natural teeth are worth keeping. Where a tooth can be saved predictably — with a filling, root canal treatment or gum care — that is the starting point.
When teeth are damaged or missing, restoration is planned for function, comfort and appearance together — not one tooth at a time in isolation.
Every option is explained with its benefits, limitations, cost and aftercare, so you can decide with confidence.
Dr Hetal personally plans complex cases and works alongside visiting consultants when a treatment needs another specialist.
